When the wind picks up the turbines move faster and produce electricity. faster winds mean more electricity in less time.
There is also a safety mechanism because in very high winds the turbine can go too fast and damage/destroy itself. To prevent this, the blades have variable pitch, and thus the speed can be limited. In very strong winds the blades will nearly feather themselves...ie:Turn edge on into wind. This function is also used when the generator is under repair in order to stop the machinery from turning.

When a hurricane has wind speeds of 103 mph What category storm is it?
A sustained wind speed of 103 mph would earn a hurricane a rating of category 2.
What happens in the eye of the hurricane?
In the eye of a hurricane, the weather is calm and peaceful. The skies are clear, and winds are light. The eye is surrounded by the eyewall, where the most intense winds and rainfall of the hurricane occur.
How many mph is a hurricane's weakest wind?
The minimum wind speed for a storm to be called a hurricane is 74 mph.
What is the wind speed of a category 1 hurricane?
The wind speed is 74-95 mph in a category one hurricane.
What is the slowest wind ever recorded for a hurricane?
You may be able to find a journal record of no wind on a very rare date on the Antarctic continent.
Can you use a wind turbine during a tornado or hurricane?
Generally not. Wind turbines were never meant for use in winds as strong as those found in hurricanes and tornadoes. They have some safeguards to prevent being damaged in high winds, but within limits. A strong enough tornado or hurricane could easily destroy a turbine.
What does a wind turbine make?
A wind turbine makes wind for scientific study.
What does wind turbine help?
a wind turbine generates electricity for or use
What does Wind Turbine mean?
A wind turbine is like a giant fan that produces energy from the wind
What happens to a wind turbine if the wind is to strong?
If the wind is too strong, a wind turbine can shut down automatically to prevent damage. This is done by either pitching the turbine blades to reduce their angle of attack or by activating a brake system to stop the blades from spinning. Additionally, some wind turbines are designed to withstand high winds by having stronger materials and construction.
How is wind created in a wind turbine?
wind is not created by the turbine but wind that passes through the turbine causes it to turn, and the faster the turbine spins the more energy is created that can be turned into electricity and other resources. Hope This Helps :)
What is another name for a wind tower?
Another name for a windmill is the wind turbine
What makes a wind turbine move?
A wind turbine moves when the wind blows against its blades, causing them to rotate. The rotation of the blades drives a generator inside the turbine, converting the kinetic energy of the wind into electrical energy.
What does a wind turbine look like?
a wind turbine looks like a giant fan
How is a wind turbine a example of mechanical energy?
This is so because when a wind turbine turns or spins it exerts wind
How do you make a wind turbine in alchemy classic?
Active Robot + Metals + 2 Wind = Wind Turbine
What happens to wind turbines when the wind stops blowing?
When the wind stops blowing, wind turbines stop generating electricity. Most modern wind turbines have mechanisms to yaw, or turn, to face the wind, so when the wind stops, they will align themselves to be ready for when the wind picks up again.
